Vitamin-A Skin Conditioners

 

To treat teen acne use alpha-hydroxy acid or mandelic acid in the morning and vitamin A at night because glycolic and mandelic acid removes the dead skin cells and at night vitamin A produces new skin cells that don't stick to pores.
Sleep and a well balanced diet, while not a cause of teen acne, is crucial to better skin. Why? Because it produces less stress, allows the body to heal and rejuvenate.

So Why Do Teenagers Get All The Bad Luck?

Simple. It's because teen acne is an inherited disease and, with all of those hormones circulating during the teen years, it only aggravates the teenage acne condition that your parents gave you. Don't worry, though. It should be over by the time you leave college and enter the work force. Make peace with teen acne by treating yourself healthfully and treating teen acne with superior quality products. They might cost more but, hey…what are parents for, right?
